Congrats to you all. It has not happened to us yet but am sure it is life changing.

Congrats. I've been a granddad for about 6.5 months. It's funny, I don't feel like a granddad at 46. The little thing is pretty darned adorable though. We're pretty lucky. Our daughter works about 2 miles from where we live, so she drives in to work with him every day and grandma watches him during the day. I get to see him anywhere from 1-3 hours a day depending upon how our schedules overlap. The kids are my stepkids, so I never experienced the baby thing. This is a whole new experience for me.

Congrats on the new arrival.

Can't wait for grandchildren myself. At 51 we started late, and still have one in high school, and my 23 year old daughter is seeing someone for awhile now, so there is hope for the future.

Congrats. You now have a lot of responsibility. Better start planning on spoiling her rotten, learning all the new cutesy things that little girls like, and teach her how to boo and hiss at the Montreal Canadians.
